About
Dunrong Hu is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to restore motor function after stroke. Their most cited work, a 2022 study on BCI-robot training, demonstrated that combining BCI with physiotherapy significantly enhances upper extremity performance in chronic stroke patients with moderate to severe paresis. Using fNIRS, Hu revealed that this intervention induces neuroplastic changes in the primary motor cortex (M1), offering a mechanistic explanation for clinical improvements. With 28 citations, this study has become a cornerstone for integrating non-invasive brain-computer interfaces into rehabilitation protocols. Hu’s research bridges engineering and clinical neuroscience, providing evidence that BCI-driven therapies can rewire cortical activation patterns even in chronic stages of recovery. Their work has profound implications for designing personalized, neuroplasticity-based interventions, positioning Hu as a key figure in advancing accessible, technology-assisted stroke rehabilitation.
